ive been getting meals on wheels for many years and although they are fine for a pre prepared frozen meal for a while ive thought they are pretty ordinary.
my meals are/were delivered once a week on a friday lunch time so i had to be home.
my delivery comprised 1 hot meal and 6 frozen meals with deserts.
they would not let me order just the meals so every week i got 7 deserts i threw away, i dont like thawed out deserts. in fact i hardly ever eat desert, if i do its fresh fruit.
the aluminium packs often looked like they had been used for footy practice, all squished and unsealed in places.
but the meals were mostly ok.
some time back i was regularly getting some really nice meals, roast lamb, roast beef, roast pork, chicken snitzel, fish in batter.
but lately its all stews with the occasional fish, roast meal thrown in.
and allways with pumpkin which i dont like.
i dont get any choice as to my meals, its not until they are delivered i find out what i get.
i have no problem with the volunteers delivering the meals they are allways friendly.
so a friend said she was getting 'ligh n easy' meals and said she found them very good.
so i took the plunge and ordered some from light n easy as you can order just one time or regularly there are no ongoing contracts, you order and pay.
i recieved my first order today and i'm impressed by the paching!
they come in a lage polysteyrene box wuth a dry ice bag inside to keep them cold, the box is sealed with tape.
the meals are in perfect order ready to go into my freezer. not damaged at all!
online when ordering i get to choose what meals i want from a huge range! no pot luck here.
if i wanted i could order 7 of the same meal! not that i ever wood with such a large choice.
the delivery is left at my door if i'm not home. not possible with MOW.
so now i'm ready for the taste test, fingers crossed they are as good as they look.
btw, yes MOW is cheaper but when i dont have to buy deserts it works out cheaper.
i only buy main meals.
